Arctic Exploration is Fraught With Romance Mining Development in Subâ€"Arctic is Graphically Desâ€" cribed at Meeting of Local Mining Institute Thursday Night by Leonard G. Smith, Formerly of Timmins. Dealingzg with the topis of mining exploration in the subâ€"arctic, with parâ€" ticular reference to Great Bear and Great Slave Lakes and Camsel! River, in the Northwest Territories, Leonard G. Smith, of the Noah A. Timmins Corporation, of Montreal, delivered an illustrated address at the monthly meeting of the Porcupine Branch 0f the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy at the Empire Hotel Thursâ€" day nizht, that proved one of the most interesting and informative discourses interesting @And Uuisluui heard in some time. For almost two hours a continuous «eries of motion pictures were shown of mining developments in the arctic, with Mr. Smith giving a graphic description as the film changed from scene to "The arctic has been fraught with romance," Mr. Smith declared, as he mentioned Gilbért Labine, Jack Hamâ€" mel and Colonel McAlpine as some of the first to exhibit faith in the far north as a mining country. "Toâ€"day romance is giving plazse to reality and while enough prospects have been disâ€" covered to warrant confidence, it will be a long time before the arctic will be able to boast a Porcupine," he obâ€" be able to boast a POrCupIn©?, it UDâ€" served. "There is considerable uncertainty as to depth of ore on these properties, with the one exception of Eldorado which is producing silver and radioâ€" active pitchblende. Prospects for gold are still in the prospect stage but gold bearing quariz is so much in evidence that much interest is being shown in the district, with much territory yet to be explored," the speaker pointed out. One impressive feature of the differâ€" ent films shown was the extent to which modern 2ircraft are being used in the No Fewer Than 35 Profesâ€" sions or Callings Repreâ€" sented in House of Comâ€" mons (By Charles J.

Apparently Men Do Noi Like to See Women Drink (Si. Thomas Timesâ€"jJournal) While the Ontario government is conâ€" sidering whether to exclude woman and girls from beverage rooms, over in the United States, Senator Edward J. Couglin, Democrat, Brooklyn, is sponâ€" scring a bill which would make it "disâ€" orderly conduct for a female customer to stanfd at or in front of a bar." There would be no objection to them taking their drinks at a table.

Two of the best hotels in New York, the Biltmore and the Waldor{, make their own regulations and will not serve a woman at the bar. A downtown barâ€" keeper says: "These women are driving my men customers out. I have a sign which telis a woman that I prefer to serve her drinks at a table. She looks at the sign , makes some comment that she is as good as a man at the bar, and promptly elbows her way in among the men.

Humorous Ideas on Underground Mills Cyanide Sam and Solution | Steve Argue it Out. (From "Grab Samples®" in the Northern Miner) "I see my the B.C. papers that Big Missouri mine is to have an underâ€" ground mill." said Cyanide Sam. "That seems like a sensible idea, doesn‘t it?" he demanded of Solution doesn Steve "Maybe, under the circumstances," replied Steve. "As I get the dope the plant is just sort of nudged under cliff to keep it away from ssâ€"ow slides. It‘s not really an rvderground mill, except that it‘s vnderarc_nd." "Yea,‘" comm uted Sam, "and apart from the "~= that it is a mill It isn‘t a mill ‘:®all." a mill‘:‘:®all." "~ _u know what I mean,"persisted C__ve."Just take one of our own plants here in Kirkland Lake. We haven‘t got a hill Liz enough to dig out a hole for a dynamite house, to say nothing of pulting a Lake Shore or Wrightâ€" Harcrc.aves plant underground." "Well what is the objection to buildâ€" ing underground?" Sam wanted to know. "You take the case of Kirkland Lake Gold. They have opened ore on their deep levels down to 4,900 ft. In order to get it up they have to tram it to the new winzes, hoist it, tram it again, hoist it once more, tram it again and then hoist it to surface. Why not blast a big hole down on the bottom, put in a 500â€"ton plant, drop their ore by gravity through ore passes and save a lot of money. Not only would the hoisting and tramming be saved but the present limited shait capacity factor would be eliminated." "Yea,. but what about dust and water and air and light and ... ." "Steve," said Sam, ‘"you‘ve been working around mines and mills for years and you never had a new idea yet. It‘s a cinch to provide power and light and water underground. In fact the water is there now and that‘s anâ€" other thing we have to get rid of thati could be used in an underground mill. So far as the air and the light and the power is concerned we have to take them down anyhow. And the dust. There are plenty of methods of getâ€" ting rid of crusher dust. Most of the crushing at the big mines is done down below now, anyhow." "It seems to mse," observed Steve, "that there must be a catch in it someâ€" where. It hasn‘t ever been done, exâ€" cept at Big Missouri, a sort of gloriâ€" fied‘ snow shed." "There‘s more than that to Big Misâ€" souri," asserted Sam. "Their orebody is up above them and they are just going to slide the muck down to feed into the top of the mill. Talk about costs!" "Yea,. and it would cost a heap to blast out the side for a mill at 5000 fi., with ore bins and ore passes and all that," persisted Steve. "Well take the case of Macassa. They have to raise a new shaft from 4,000 ft.. because the present shaft won‘t take all the ore they have develâ€" oped down below. _ Now if they had built their mill underground they would not have to go to that shaft exâ€" pense. All they would need would be a small working shaft, to hoist men and send down supplies. It would be a lot easier to hoist gold bricks than thousands of tons of ore." "Sure," admitted Steve, almost half convinced. "But nobody is going to put an exploration shaft down 4,000 ft., without production. This is not the Rand reef. An outfit has to have inâ€" come and they have to build a surfact mill to get it as soon as possible, if not sooner." "Just think." mused Sam, "no hoistâ€" ing. no heating, no tramming, no ng, no UV UCULdAillillilis, AAV pumping. Everything working by gravity." "You remind me," remarked Steve, "of the genius who suggested at the; time of the Moose River disaster that the rescuers pour down barrel after barrel of soup into the hole, so thai the trapped men could get some nourâ€" ishment. Why not have our families come to the shaft and pour our dinners down, too. Maybe we could run diaâ€"| mond drill hole right into the mill, full of mulligan.

At this point the mill super who had| been listening to this scheme to put him in the groundhog classification, broke in on the discussion. *"Your idea, Sam, is swell except for one thing."

A, Tuckâ€" Napoleon Baudreau, age 34, bachelor residing in Ansonville, pleaded guilty to having indecently assaulted a little girl not yet three years of age, on Satâ€" urday, February 13th. When asked by the magistrate why he had committed this crime, Mr,. Bauâ€" dreau declined to give any explanation. Emil Leflievre, Ansonville, who was caught setting lines for fAishing purâ€" poses, last Saturday morning, on Nellie Lake, by Game Warden E. R. White, pleaded guilty and was fined $10.00 and costs, which amecunted to $16.75. He was given the maximum penalty for this charge, and was sentenced to serve two years in the Kingston penitentiary. It was drawn to the attention of the court, that this was the first case of its kind here. He gave the minimum penalty, but if this offense is dupliâ€" cated by others, in the future, a more severe peralty will be imposed. The magistrate also pointed out that the Rod and Gun Club has gone to ccnsiderable trouble and expense in reâ€"stocking these lakes, and if persons do not abide by the rules governing fishing in these closed waters, that all the efforts of the men responsible for this commendable work will be futile.

In spite unfavourable market conâ€" diticons which made financing difficult for new ventures, the formation of mining companies and syndicates conâ€" tinued on an active scale throughout Canada in J937. During the year hunâ€" dreds of new corporations commenced operations while scores of others, some of which had been dormant for years, secured fresh capital and resumed work. Approximately 20 companies entered the ranks of producers and at the year end at least as many more proposed to start production during 1938. Ten companies made initial) dividend payments during the period. Reflecting these impoertant changes in the industry, the Canadian Mines Handbook focr 1938, which has just been issued. is much larger than any preâ€" vicus edition, running to 400 pages and treating 5,319 companies. This all time record compares with 4,714 last year, 3,744 two years ago and 2,724 in 1934. The Handbook shows that approXxiâ€" mately 1,500 mining companies were operating in 1937, after strictly eliminâ€" ating those that were not active. Some 560 new companies and syndicates were fcrmed and acquired properties, while 60 old ones were revived. During the year several hundred companies stopâ€" ped work owing to lack of finances of unfavcurable development results and were demoted to Part II or the suppleâ€" mentary section of the book. As usual the Handbook reviews the cperating companies in considerable detail. Head office and mine office addresses, names of directors and chieli operating officials, capitalization, proâ€" perty locations and development acâ€" tivities are given. Production and finâ€" ancial position, with four and five year comparisons, are presented. . Where recrganizations have taken place the share exchange basis is given when possible. The book tells what has beâ€" come of thousands of companies which have passed out of current knowledge and is therefore especially useful tC those ‘who wish to trace down dorâ€" malnt or defunct ventures.

They mainâ€" tain that out of the federation, Ontario and @Quebec have benefitted the most. that their population has not increased as it should. had they remaind outside of it.

This is only natural, as they and their provincial government have been elected, on one policy alone. namely: Social Credit; and at the present, they are using all the pressure possible for the liberation of Unwin and Powell. Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba have brought forcibly the drought situâ€" ation, which on account of its intensity and the number of years that it has now ravaged the three western prairie provinces, to such an extent that it has become a national problem; and the Federal Treasury is spending large sums of money on extensive rehabilitation schemes. which, with the help of more seasonable rain, should eventually help that serious situation. vated life.

You also have in this debate very deep cleavage among the meimbers about tariff policies. Although in this Parliaâ€" ment not a single member professes to be a freeâ€"trader. it is also true that not a single one will agree that he is in favour of high tariff. It is well recogâ€" nized that we need a certain amount of tariff for revenue purposes. but that is as far as it should go,. Naturally, the Western members would be in favour of lower tarifls than those from the cenâ€" tral provinces. However, when one stuâ€" dies thoroughly the tariff schedule of this country., one could readily realize that even quite a measure of protection is given to primary progucers. As a Northern Ontarian, I fully realize that high tariffs cannot be helpful to us, because we are primary producers in our production coming from our mines, our forests and other numerous natural reâ€" cources, but at the same time we are practical enough to realize that a reaâ€" Doherty Roadhouse Co.
